WARNING
Read the instructions in this manual before performing installation and take
note of the following precautions:
Ensure that all incoming AC power and other power sources are
turned OFF before performing any work on the instrument. Protect
the measurement AC Inputs voltage (V1, V2, V3) with 2A external
overcurrent protection device and the power supply source inputs
with 5A external overcurrent protection device, located close to the
equipment.
Before connecting the instrument to the power source, check the

labels on the back of the instrument to ensure that your instrument
is equipped with the appropriate power supply voltage, input
voltages and currents. Failure to do so may result in serious or even
fatal injury and/or equipment damage.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be connected to

a power source if it is damaged.

The secondary of an external current transformer must never be

allowed to be open circuit when the primary is energized. An open
circuit can cause high voltages, possibly resulting in equipment
damage, fire and even serious or fatal injury. Ensure that the current
transformer wiring is secured using an external strain relief to
reduce mechanical strain on the screw terminals, if necessary.
Only qualified personnel familiar with the instrument and its

associated electrical equipment must perform setup procedures.
Do not open the instrument under any circumstances when it is

connected to a power source.

requires use of any of the four wiring configurations shown in Figures 2-7
through 2-10.
Current Input Connection

The PM135 series provide two different CT connections:
 Using internal CT, the PM135 does not have current terminals
 Using external CT (HACS – High Accuracy SATEC Current Sensor),
the PM135 provides current terminals
To connect to the external CT, pass the external CT wire through the
meter CT core, see Figure ‎2-8 for details and observe the arrow that
indicates the current direction.

In case of a retrofit application where each external CT ends with two

wires:
1. Pass one wire through the meter CT
core.
2. Connect the wire to one of the
meter termination screws.
3. Connect the second wire from the
external CT to the termination screw
to close the loop.

Auto-Return
If the Auto-Return feature is enabled and no button is pressed for the
programmable Auto-Return interval (1 to 30 minutes for data displays;

fixed at 5 minutes for setup menus), the display automatically returns to

the default page from any other data display or a setup menu.
If the Auto-Scroll feature is enabled, the display immediately enters the
auto scroll sequence.
Auto-Scroll
If the Auto-Scroll feature is enabled, the data display automatically scrolls
through all pages of all data displays that are included into the
programmable auto-scroll sequence. The scroll interval is adjustable in the
range of 2 to 30 seconds. The scroll sequence may include all or only
selected displays.
The display automatically enters auto scrolling if no button is pressed for
the Auto-Return interval when the Auto-Return feature is enabled or in 1
minute if this feature is disabled. In the last case, the scroll sequence is
restored from the point where it was interrupted.
To stop auto scrolling, press briefly any button if the backlight is on; else
press briefly any button twice since the first press only sets the backlight
on and does not affect auto scrolling.

Power Calculation Modes

The power calculation mode option allows you to change the method for
calculating reactive and apparent powers in presence of high harmonics.
The options work as follows:
 When the reactive power calculation mode is selected, active and
reactive powers are measured directly and apparent power is
calculated as:
S  P2  Q2
This mode is recommended for

electrical networks with low harmonic
distortion, commonly with THD < 5%
for volts, and THD < 10% for currents.
In networks with high harmonics, the
second method is preferable.
 When the non-active power calculation mode is selected, active
power is measured directly, apparent power is taken as product S
= V x I, where V and I are the RMS volts and amps, and reactive
power (called non-active power) is calculated as:
N  S2  P2
Configuring Digital Inputs

The PM135 can be provided with four to twelve (depend on DI/O module
type) digital inputs that can be linked to control setpoints to give an
indication on input status change (see Configuring Alarm/Control

Setpoints), or can be linked to general pulse counters to count incoming

pulses (see Configuring Counters). They can also be linked to the
Billing/TOU registers to count pulses from external wattmeters or gas and
water meters.
Using PAS
Digital Inputs tab.
Figure ‎5-8: General Setup Dialog Box – Digital Inputs Dialog Box
The available options are shown in Table 11.
Table 11: Digital Input Options

Pulse Input PULSE MODE PULSE In pulse mode, either leading, or
Mode KYZ MODE MODE trailing edge of the input pulse is
recognized as an event. In KYZ
mode, both leading and trailing
edges of the input pulse are
recognized as separate events.
Pulse Polarity NORMAL (N.O.), NORMAL For the normal polarity, the open
INVERTING (N.C.) to closed transition is considered
a pulse. For the inverting polarity,
the closed to open transition is
considered a pulse.
It has no meaning in KYZ mode
where both transitions are used.
Debounce 1-100 ms 10 ms The amount of time while the
Time state of the digital input should
not change to be recognized as a
new state. Too low debounce time
could produce multiple events on
the input change.
The debounce time is applied the same for all digital inputs. If you change
the debounce time for a digital input, the same debounce time is
automatically assigned to the others.

Configuring Relay Outputs

The PM135 can be provided with two to four (depend on DI/O module
type) optional relay outputs. Each relay can be operated either locally
from the alarm/control setpoints in response to an event or by a remote
command sent through communications. It can also be linked to an
internal pulse source to produce energy pulses.
Using PAS
Relay Outputs tab.
Figure ‎5-9: General Setup Dialog Box – Relay Outputs Tab
The available relay outputs options are shown in Table 12.
Table 12: Relay Output Options



Operation UNLATCHED UNLATCHED Unlatched mode: the relay goes into its
mode LATCHED active state when the control setpoint is in
PULSE active (operated) state, and returns into
KYZ pulse its non-active state when the setpoint is
released.
Latched mode: the relay goes into its
active state when the control setpoint goes
into active state and remains in the active
state until it is returned into its non-active
state by a remote command.
Pulse mode (normal pulse): the relay goes
into its active state for the specified time,
goes into non-active state for the specified
time and remains in the non-active state.
KYZ mode (transition pulse): the relay
generates transition pulses. The relay
changes its output state upon each
command and remains in this state until
the next command.
Polarity NORMAL (N.O.) NORMAL Normal polarity: the relay is normally de-
INVERTING (N.C.) energized in its non-active state and is
energized in its active (operated) state.
Inverting polarity: the relay is normally
energized in its non-active state and is de-
energized in its active (operated) state. It
is called failsafe relay operation.
Pulse width 20-1000 ms 100 ms The actual pulse width is a multiple of the
1-cycle time rounded to the nearest bigger
value.
The pause time between pulses is equal to
the pulse width.

Full scale Defines the high engineering scale (in primary
units) for the analog output corresponding to a
highest output current (1 or 20 mA)
When you select an output parameter for the analog output channel, the
default engineering scales are set automatically. They correspond to the
maximum available scales. If the parameter actually covers a lower range,
you can change the scales to provide a better resolution on an analog
output.
Scaling Non-Directional Analog Outputs
For non-directional analog outputs with a 0-1mA, 0-20mA or 4-20mA
current option, you can change both zero and full engineering scales for
any parameter. The engineering scale need not be symmetrical.

Scaling Directional Power Factor

The engineering scale for the signed power factor emulates analog power
factor meters.
The power factor scale is -0 to +0 and is symmetrical with regard to
1.000 (-1.000  +1.000). The negative power factor is scaled as -1.000
minus the measured value, and non-negative power factor is scaled as
+1.000 minus the measured value. To define the entire power factor
range from -0 to +0, the default scales are specified as -0.000 to 0.000.
Scaling ±1mA Analog Outputs
Programming engineering scales for directional ±1mA analog outputs
depends on whether the output parameter represents unsigned (as volts
and amps) or signed (as powers and power factor) values.
For an unsigned output value, you can change both zero and full
engineering scales.
For a signed (directional) value, you should only provide the engineering
scale for the +1 mA output current.
The engineering scale for the 0 mA output current is always equal to zero
for all values except the signed power factor, for which it is set to 1.000
(see Scaling Directional Power Factor above).
The meter does not allow access to the low scale setting if the parameter
is directional. Whenever the sign of the output parameter is changed to
negative, the meter automatically uses the full engineering scale setting
for +1 mA with a negative sign.
Scaling Analog Outputs for 0-2 mA and ±2 mA
The 0-1mA and ±1mA current outputs provide a 100% overload, and
actually output currents up to 2 mA and ±2mA whenever the output value
exceeds the engineering scale you set for the 1 mA or ±1mA.
The output scales for 0-1 mA and ±1 mA analog outputs are programmed
for 0 mA and +1 mA regardless of the required output current range.
To use the entire output range of 2 mA or ±2 mA, set the analog output
scales as follows:
 0-2 mA: set the 1 mA scale to ½ of the required full scale output
for uni-directional parameters, and set the 0 mA scale to the
negative full scale and the 1 mA scale to zero for bi-directional
parameters.
 ±2 mA: set the 1 mA scale to ½ of the required full-scale output
for both uni-directional and bi-directional parameters.
For example, to provide the 0 to 2 mA output current range for Volts
measured by the meter in the range of 0 to 120V, set the 1 mA scale to
60V; then the 120V reading will be scaled to 2 mA.
Configuring Counters
The PM135 has four six-digit general counters that can count pulses
delivered through the device digital inputs with a programmable scale
factor. Each counter can also be incremented in response to any internal
or external event, checked and cleared through the Control Setpoints.
Using PAS

toolbar before accessing the setup
dialog box.
2. Type in the required value into the Counter Value field.
3. Click Send
Configuring Alarm/Control Setpoints

The PM135 has an embedded logical controller that can perform different
actions in response to user-defined internal and external events. Unlike a
PLC, the meter uses a simplified programming technique based on
setpoints that allows the user to define a logical expression based on
measured analog and digital values that produce a required action.
The meter provides 16 control setpoints with programmable operate and
release delays. Each setpoint evaluates a logical expression with one
trigger argument. Whenever an expression is evaluated as “true”, the
setpoint performs a programmable action that can send a command to the
output relay, or increment a counter.
The logical controller provides very fast response to events. The scan time
for all setpoints is 1 cycle time (16.6 ms at 60Hz and 20 ms at 50/400
Hz).

conditional expression would be evaluated to
false. Defines the hysteresis for analog
triggers. Not applicable for digital triggers.
Operate delay 0.1-999.9 sec The time delay before operation when the
operate conditions are fulfilled
Release delay 0.1-999.9 sec The time delay before release when the
release conditions are fulfilled
Action See Appendix C The action performed when the setpoint
expression is evaluated to true (the setpoint
is in operated state)
Figure ‎5-12: General Setup Dialog Box – Control/Alarm Setpoints Tab
Using Numeric Triggers

For numeric (analog) triggers, you can specify two thresholds for each
trigger to provide hysteresis (dead band) for setpoint operations.
The Operate Limit defines the operating threshold, and the second
Release Limit defines the release threshold for the trigger. The trigger
thresholds are specified in primary units.
If you do not want to use hysteresis for the trigger, set the Release Limit
to the same value as the Operate Limit.
Using Binary Triggers
Binary (digital) triggers like digital inputs and relays are tested for
ON/CLOSED or OFF/OPEN status.
In the PM135, the binary events are level-sensitive events. An event is
asserted all the time while the corresponding condition exists.
Delaying Setpoint Operations

Two optional delays can be added to each setpoint to extend monitoring
triggers for a longer time before reaching a decision on whether the
expected event occurred or not. When a delay is specified, the logical
controller changes the setpoint status only if all conditions are asserted for
a period of at least as long as the delay time.

Using Setpoint Events and Actions

When a setpoint status changes, i.e., a setpoint event is either asserted or
de-asserted, the following happens in your meter:
 The new setpoint status is logged to the setpoint status register
that can be monitored through communications from the SCADA
system or from a programmable controller in order to give an
indication on the expected event.
 The operated setpoint status is latched to the setpoint alarm latch
register that can be inspected through communications and via
the display (see Status Display in Chapter 3). The register holds
the last setpoint alarm status until it is explicitly cleared through
communications or via the display.
 A programmable action is performed on setpoint status transition
when a setpoint event is asserted.
Generally, setpoint actions are performed independently for each setpoint
and can be repeated a number of times for the same target. The
exceptions are relay operations that are shared for each target relay
between all setpoints using an OR scheme.
A relay output is operated when one of the setpoints linked to the relay is
activated and remains operated until all of these setpoints are released
(except for latched relays that require a separate release command to be
deactivated).
Using Time Counters
Any of the general counters can be used to count the setpoint operation
time. If you select the TIME CNT n action for a setpoint, the target
counter measures the time while the setpoint is in the operated state. The
counter resolution is 0.1 hour. See Status Display in Chapter 3 on how to
examine the counters via the front display.

‎Chapter 5 Configuring the PM135 Configuring Billing/TOU
5.4 Configuring Billing/TOU

The TOU battery-backed clock unit is highly recommended in case
of using time-scheduled tariff rates, otherwise a long power
outage may cause the meter clock to lose time so your tariff
counters would not comply with the calendar schedule.
Billing Energy Registers

The PM135E/EH has 4 fully programmable billing energy registers that
can be linked to any internal energy source or to an external pulse source
that delivers pulses through the meter digital inputs.
Any energy register can provide either a single-tariff energy accumulation
or be individually linked to the TOU system providing both total and multi-
tariff energy billing.
Tariff Rates
The meter tariff structure supports 8 different tariff rates using an
arbitrary tariff schedule. A total of 4 types of days and 4 seasons are
supported with up to eight tariff changes per day.
Maximum Demand Registers
Any of billing energy registers can be individually linked to the maximum
demand register providing the same demand tariff structure as you
selected for energy registers.
Recording Billing Data and Load Profiling
The PM135E/EH can provide automatic recording of the daily energy and
maximum demand profile to a data log file. Maximum demand profiling
can be individually configured for every register.
See Factory Preset Data Log Files in Chapter 5 and Billing Profile Log File
in Appendix E for more information on the file layout and contents.
To configure the billing registers and the tariff system in your
meter:
1. Link the billing registers to the
respective energy sources.
2. Configure the options for the
registers to whether the only
totalization or both total and tariff
registers would be used, and
whether daily profiling should be
enabled for the energy usage and
maximum demand registers.
3. Configure the daily tariff schedule
using the TOU daily profiles for all
types of days and seasons.
4. Configure the season tariff schedule
using the TOU calendar.
Configuring Billing/Tariff Registers

To configure the billing/TOU registers in your meter:
1. Select Energy/TOU from the
Meter Setup menu.

Figure ‎5-16: Energy/TOU Setup Dialog Box – Billing/TOU Registers tab
2. Configure the register options

according to the valid parameters
shown in Table 18.

Configuring the Daily Tariff Schedule

To configure your daily tariff schedule, select Energy/TOU from the
Meter Setup menu, and then click on the TOU Daily Profiles tab.
Figure ‎5-17: Energy/TOU Setup Dialog Box – TOU Daily Profiles Tab
The daily profile setup allows you to specify the daily tariff change points
with a 15-minute resolution for 4 seasons using 4 different daily schedules
for each season.
To configure your daily profiles:
1. Select the desired season and day
type.
2. Select the start time for each tariff
change point and the corresponding
active tariff number.
3. Repeat the setup for all active
profiles.
The first tariff change point is fixed at 00:00 hours, and the last tariff
change you specified will be in use until 00:00 hours on the next day.
NOTE
The billing daily profile log file is automatically configured for the number
of active tariffs you defined in the meter TOU daily profiles.
Configuring the Season Tariff Schedule

To configure your season tariff schedule, select Energy/TOU from the
Meter Setup menu, and then click on the TOU Calendar tab.

Figure ‎5-18: TOU Calendar Setup Dialog Box – TOU Calendar Tab
The meter TOU calendar allows you to configure any tariff schedule based
on any possible utility regulation. The calendar provides 32 entries that
allow you to specify profiles for working days and holidays through all
seasons in any order that is convenient for you, based on simple intuitive
rules.
To configure your season tariff schedule:
1. In the Season/Period box, select
the season, and in the Day Type
box, select a day type for this
calendar entry.
2. Define the time interval when this
daily tariff schedule is effective,
based on the start and end
weekdays and, for a multi-season
schedule, on the start and end
month for the selected season. It
does not matter which order of
weekdays or months you select: the
meter recognizes the correct order.
3. For exception days like weekends
and designated holidays, define a
specific day either by a month and a
month day, or by selecting a month,
a week and a weekday within the
month.
There are no limitations on how to build your schedule. A common

recommendation is to use minimum time constraints and only when it is
needed to avoid ambiguity. You need not to define month days if a daily
schedule is effective all days of the month, or to define the start and end
months if it is effective through all the year. If you wish to define a
specific period within a month using the start and end days, put this entry
before allocating the remaining days to another daily schedule without
specified month days, so it would be checked first for a match.

The above picture shows a typical single-season tariff schedule with two
daily tariff profiles configured for working days, and weekends and the
designated U.S.A. holidays.

Scaling 16-bit AI objects

Scaling 16-bit AI objects allows accommodating native 32-bit analog input
readings to 16-bit object format; otherwise it may cause an over-range
error if the full-range value exceeds a 16-bit point limit.
Scaling is enabled by default. It is not related to points that are read using
32-bit AI objects.
Refer to the PM135 DNP3 Reference Guide for information on the data
point scales and a reverse conversion that should be applied to the
received scaled values.
Scaling 16-bit Binary Counters
Scaling 16-bit Binary Counters allows changing a counter unit in powers of
10 to accommodate a 32-bit counter value to 16-bit BC object format.
If the scaling unit is greater than 1, the counter value is reported being
divided by the selected scaling unit from 10 to 1000. To get the actual
value, multiply the counter reading by the scaling unit.
Configuring DNP Class 0 Responses

The most common method of getting static object information from the
meter via DNP is to issue a read Class 0 request. The PM135 allows you to
configure the Class 0 response by assigning ranges of points to be polled
via Class 0 requests.
2
The Select Before Operate command causes the meter to start a timer. The
following Operate command must be sent before the specified timeout value
expires.
3
The meter requests time synchronization by bit 4 in the first octet of the
internal indication word being set to 1 when the time interval specified by the
Time Sync Period elapses. The master should synchronize the time in the meter
by sending the Time and Date object to clear this bit. The meter does not send
time synchronization requests if the Time Sync Period is set to 0.

meters via the Upload Scheduler.
To store files in Excel format, follow instructions in the previous section
and select Excel Workbook as the output file format.
The first row of the Excel table lists data names (see Appendix D) and the
second row provides data codes, which identify recorded data points (see
Modbus communications guide for data codes) that may be useful for
automated table processing.
Each table row is provided with the device identifier that you can define in
the meter database (see Creating a New Site for your Meter).
8.5 Archiving Files

Microsoft Access databases tend to grow fast. Databases above 0.5
Gigabytes can drastically slow down file operations.
To avoid enormous growing files, you can either periodically change the
target database, or use the Upload Scheduler’s file archiver to
automatically move older data to archives.
The Upload Scheduler archives files upon a weekly, monthly or yearly
schedule. When archiving data, a new database is created to where older
data from your present database with the expired archiving date is
moved.
An archive file keeps the original database name to which the date of the
oldest database record is added, so you can easily identify your archives
and work with them as you work with a regular database.
To provide a schedule for archiving files:
1. When defining a schedule for
uploading files from your meter,
click on Configure or double click
on the site row.
2. Click Auto Archive.

1 In 4LN3, 3LN3 and 3BLN3 wiring modes, the voltages will be line-to
neutral; for any other wiring mode, they will be line-to-line voltages.
2 The value is calculated as a relation of the maximum deviation of
phase values from a 3-phase average value to a 3-phase average.
NOTE
Designations of some enginering demands and billing energy and demand
registers are shown using a short name notation available in PAS V1.4. By
default, PAS uses long names compatible with older versions of PAS. You
can select a desired notation from the Tools/Options/Preferences tab.
PAS does not allow to store data in files using different data names. If you
have a file uploaded with a previous version of PAS using long data
names, either continue using long data names, or store data in a new file.
See table below for a list of parameters with short and long names.

‎Appendix F Data Scales
Appendix F Data Scales

The maximum values for volts, amps and power in the PM135 setup and
in communications are limited by the voltage and current scale settings.
See Device Options in Chapter 4 on how to change the voltage and
current scales in your meter.
The following table shows the meter data scales.
Table 27: Data Scales Values

Scale Conditions Range
Maximum voltage All configurations Voltage scale  PT Ratio, V 1
(V max)
Maximum current All configurations Current scale  CT Ratio, A 2, 3
(I max)
Maximum Power 4 Wiring 4LN3, 3LN3, 3BLN3 V max  I max  3, W
Wiring 4LL3, 3LL3, 3BLL3, V max  I max  2, W
3OP2, 3OP3, 3DIR2
Maximum frequency 25, 50 or 60 Hz 100 Hz
400Hz 500 Hz
1 The default voltage scale is 144V. The recommended voltage scale is

120V+20% = 144V for using with external PT’s, and 690V+20% = 828V
for a direct connection to power line.
2 CT Ratio = CT primary current/CT secondary current
3 The default current scale is 2  CT secondary (2.0A with 1A secondary

and 10.0A with 5A secondary).
4 Maximum power is rounded to whole kilowatts. With PT=1.0, it is
limited to 9,999,000 W.
